• 7 words a day#43 Level C1-C2

The term 'non-verbal' is commonly used to describe such communicative resources as gesture, facial movement and tone of voice. The term has long been useful in challenging the misconception that words constitute the whole of communication. However, a further ASSUMPTION has sometimes seemed to follow: that 'non-verbal' expression is something UNITARY, independent of verbal communicating, or classifiable under some single term like 'body language'. This is to DRASTICALLY simplify our actual practice.
As pointed out by writers on language and social interaction, gestural and vocal actions are often integrated rather than AUTONOMOUS, and verbal and non-verbal communicating usually produced in a highly coordinated fashion. Proposing a concept of 'non-verbal expression' has led to an unfounded generalization about this supposedly DISTINCT subject: that it is the MEDIUM for expressing emotions and relations rather than conscious thought or ideas, for example. Even if this were true, the fact remains that the resources covered by the term 'non-verbal' are DIVERSE and complex IN THE EXTREME. It can only be misleading to bunch them together as a distinctive communicative mode.
